Kyrie Irving: 6 pts on 2-12 shooting, 7 assists in career debut; Bust already?

[Burgz]

this is for those who claim they can evaluate kyrie irving's potential based on the box score

yes he had a bad game

yes he has a lot of work to do

but watching the game, he got to the basket easily and he created a lot of opportunities for his teammates which they failed to covert for the most part

yes he was 1-5 but 2 of them were in the dying seconds and im pretty sure another one was a chuck at the end of the shot clock

if you actually watched the game last night then you would have seen that kyrie is very much a star in the making

Kyrie Irving is a great player, will be an all-star. But he not going to be leading the Cavs no championship anytime within the next 8 seasons. This isn't even regarding LeBron/Wade, Melo's Knicks, Rose's Bulls.

your going to need a superstar to fix what Cavs after what LeBron did to them.

A. Who said that Irving was going to lead the team to a championship?

B. I'd rather not all the success for a franchise go to one person. Better to have a complete team with working parts that actually performs well together. I believe we have attained several pieces that have pushed us closer to that goal.

C. The post you reference was in response to an overreaction thread created after a guy's first ever NBA game. Suddenly, these prognosticators are nowhere to be found. I will continue to update the thread throughout the year.

Kyrie Irving Chasedown block on DJ Augustin - Bobcats vs Cavaliers

[NumberSix]

Wait a sc..... Cleveland has a team?

[Collie]

Truth be told, I like Kyrie's game better than Wall. Seems steadier and smarter. Guy reminds me of a young Tim Hardaway with the way he controls the floor.

[PTB Fan]

Irving is a future All-Star. Book it.

[Rnbizzle]

Yeah for some reason he really seems in control. Like he knows what he's doing out there.

Kyrie Irving vs. New Jersey Nets

32 points (12-20 FG, 2-5 3PT, 6-8 FT), 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 1 turnover


This included 21 points in the 4th quarter alone. He scored 17 of the Cavs' last 19 points in the final 2:19.

Where is MMKM? I thought he was keeping track of this stuff?

Are the Cavs wishing they took Derrick Williams yet?

[irondarts]

Make sure you subscribe to this thread, see you in April.

It only took to late January to prove you wrong.

[RedBlackAttack]

Tonight's takeover against the Nets in the 4th quarter will soon be on YouTube, I'm sure.

Enjoy it, MMKM.

[Meticode]

Sucks they came up short though, Cavs been struggling at home.
